About Hadley:
Hadley is an Australian born former player who moved to New Zealand to test himself in the ITM Cup. After taking up Coaching in his time playing in New Zealand, Hadley moved back to Australia and moved up the coaching ranks in NSW and was lucky enough to be the Head Coach of Randwick Rugby Club in Australia.
The lure of moving to Europe to Coach was always a goal for Hadley. When an opportunity came to visit The Netherlands, and he saw the potential of Dutch Rugby in his first visit and decided to move to The Hague in 2022.
With Dutch family from Utrecth and Ziest, Hadley had a very strong bond with his Opa from a young age. The lure of coming back to The Netherlands was very appealing and means a lot to his extended family.
Hadley is a former Chess Teach and Amateur Boxer and also enjoys these pursuits alongside his time spent in Rugby. Travel since moving to Europe is something Hadley has really enjoyed, and tries to visit new cities throughout Europe on his weekends off.
Hadley believes The Netherlands are only just starting to scratch the surface of the potential they have as a Rugby nation, so is eager to play his part in ensuring this potential is reached.
